  • Look, There's a River in our Classroom!

    Funded Dec 26, 2007

    Wow! Thank you very much for the wonderful donation of a river ecosystem. Our students will be thrilled with this addition. And it will greatly aid their understanding of the interrelationships between plant and animal wildlife in an ecosystem. Our students have little experience with wildlife; so it will be a fun as well as academic experience for them. Thank you! Mrs. ”

  • Waves of energy

    Funded Jun 21, 2007

    How wonderful to learn that our science lab will have materials for students to actively learn concepts of energy- in particular motion of sound and light waves. Our students will be able to take this abstract concept and "see" energy waves as they use the materials and then analyze these motions and effects. From use of the materials students can apply their knowledge to their life experiences which will further move their concept understanding. Thank you very much”

  • Live Animal Observations

    Funded May 8, 2007

    We are so excited to know that our science lab will contain some live animals this next school year. Students will be able to study animals and their needs as well as change over time.

  • Ink so students can print their work

    Funded Mar 1, 2006

    How wonderful to learn that our classroom wish for ink for our printer will come true. My students will be so excited to know that they will now be able to publish their work. This makes their computer work much more meaningful--to be able to see their work in print. It also allows us to share their work on bulletin board displays. Thank you!! - Mrs. ”

  • Student use of printer...ink needed!

    Funded Dec 22, 2005

    Thank you so very much for the printer ink for my students!! Daily I have to turn requests away from them for printing out work because there is no ink for student computers in my classroom. Now their assignments wont be late because they don't have a printer at home, or because the computer lab was closed. They will be sooooo excited to hear of this wish fulfilled. Thank you!”

Thank you for your care! I teach science lab to 1st-8th graders in an urban public school; 99.5% poverty which means my students have limited out-of-school experiences to help them grasp their science learning. The recession has hit our school budget hard, making it harder for me to offer hands-on science experiences for all students. These students learn best by seeing and doing, so your support will allow them to more deeply grasp science concepts.
